An Aboslute Must!
5 of us went to 6 different countries and worked every time in hotels, airports, etc. - Dubai, Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia. The USB port was handy in charging iPods to cameras. A real plus in providing extra plug outlets when there were few. Everybody was coming to our room to plug in and charge their devices. We never had a problem. The surge protection came in handy in Dubai. We had an incident, but our plug ins were protected, no issues at all. In airports other travelers were jealous since we could all plug into one shared plug adapter and they had to search to for an outlet. Also, liked how compact and light this was. Going to Ireland, France and Spain next! Looks like this plug adapter will work in these countries too. A definite recommended purchase.

Power Adapter - I think not
The unit is not a power adapter it is a plug adapter. It does not adapt 240V to 120V it only provides for different plug configurations.
The catalog description should be rewritten to accurately describe what the device actually is. The description should also include a disclaimer clearly stating that the USB charger port doers not work with a number of electronic devices (Ipods, Ipads, Kindles, etc.).
